Voyager Trigger Modes

I’ve read the instructions and do not see the difference between these two modes. Can any body help me out. I’m trying to have the voyager glide the pitch between two notes without retriggering the envelope.

Multi trigger will start the envelope whenever a new key is pressed.
And in single mode the envelopes are triggered only when the first key is pressed.

So if you play three notes without lifting the fingers after each note, you will get three envelope triggers on the multiple trigger setting. But only a single triggering (on the very first note) in the single trigger mode.

If you like to play legato (note pitch chaning without a new trigger) set the Voyager to single trigger mode. This is, btw, the only trigger mode on the original Minimoog.

And you will have to lift the first note’s finger for the pitch to change. But this is depending on the note priority setting. Low note priority (original Minimoog setting) means: you will always hear the lowest key’s pitch, no matter what keys are pressed later. High note priority is the same, but this the top note held. And last note priority is playing always the pitch of the last key pressed.

The note priority and the trigger setting do kind of interact in terms of the needed playing style to achieve a certain legato playing style.

I hope this helps.

I am having a little trouble with programming staccato sorts of basslines. Seems that from time to time, I will “drop” a note when triggering a pattern with several 16th notes in a row.

I have fiddled with the Amp/VCF envelopes and reduced the DSR segments accordingly. I have also set the Kbd trigger to “Multi” (and back to single). To me, it’s a relatively simple thing but I still cannot achieve the nice, tight ( and relatively simple) bassline that I am looking for.

I have even tried the option that drops the “Release” portion of the envelope - no luck, but I do not think this should be used in my patch anyway.

Anything else I may have overlooked?? is this a “known issue”??

THANKS!!

hi db.one,

there is no need to post your question three times on the Moog forum.
I answered one version of it. And ofcause this one.
